I have just tried to open a 2025 project in 2026, that I’m running from my macbook, the media storage location is a raid on another mac, this works fine in 2025, however, in 2026, I get an error saying this path cannot be used as a project media folder. Hard links are not supported. Operation not supported.
But this is more about starting a new project, I’m trying to convert a 2025 to a 2026 project
First, Here is info about converting old projects:
Second - Phil’s second link is what you need to read to be able to see projects on the other system’s raid. Remote systems now don’t see each other through stone+wire (no more with 2026) and you need each machine to have the other one as a readable path:
Ex: /hosts//opt/Autodesk/project…
or even better a shared mount point on your network
There’s a few new pages to read, but each page contains a few hours worth of digestion and processing.
It is not time wasted.
Changes to user, project and storage over 2025 and 2026 are big changes.
Just tried opening a 2025 project created on my macbook, same error message.
